I bought my train tickets this morning. I opted for coach, because it was SO MUCH cheaper than a sleeper. Maybe I'll regret it, but right now I'm looking upon it as an adventure. BFF's SIL has taken this same trip by coach, and she said it wasn't bad at all. Yes, I would prefer to have the privacy of sleeper. If I were rich, that's what I would do. But I'm not rich. I have to do what I can afford. The two tickets, with insurance, were $332. That will come out of savings. It doesn't affect my variables, which remains at 57%.

I picked up my free lunches this morning after my gym routine. There are some repeats and some that are new. I asked the woman who distributes them whether lactose-free milk was an option. She said she didn't have any, but thought it was a good idea, since lactose intolerance is so common, and she's going to ask about it. Since I don't take the milk, I get juice instead, which is fine.

I already ate today's meal. It was spaghetti and meatballs, with peach cobbler on the side. A repeat. It's pretty good.
